Rest in peace to Kittie bassist Trish Doan

Longtime Kittie bass player Trish Doan has passed away. She was just 31 years old.

Kittie shared the news of Doan’s passing on the band’s official Facebook page, stating, “It is with immeasurable sadness that we share news of the passing of our sister and best friend Trish Doan.”

The post went on to say, “Finding the right words is tough. She was so bright and vibrant and talented and we loved her and still do. She was so much more than just a musician or member of the band. She was our blood, our sister and family. Finding our way without her will be challenging, like a ship without a lighthouse, and we are devastated.”

The all-female band concluded, “We ask that you please respect our privacy and her family’s privacy during this difficult time.”

Doan became a member of Kittie in 2005. She left the band in 2007 but rejoined the group in 2012.
